It does because they're only focusing on the chaos in New York. That's not a comment to trivialize the issue but one of understanding the media lens and what @mackay said above. This is still pretty fast and pretty raw. We're getting a lot of information and we still have a hard time processing it. America's NPR has released a great article in the last few days and it's well worth a read as it has global application as it relates to all of us.

jetro 5,349 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Apologies for the rant in advance. I am qualified nurse and have been for the last three years. I trained on a respiratory ward for two years therefore I am competent in looking after patients on non invasive ventilators and I have the knowledge and skills needed to look after those with acute and chronic respiratory problems. I also have experience on surgical wards and other units as I worked with an agency for a year which allowed me to gain experience on all different types of units. Before I left England I was working 5/6 12 hour shifts in Guys and St. Thomas’ hospital looking after the patients who tested positive for Covid-19 therefore I have the experience the public need right now. I came home from England, left a job, accommodation and worst of all the patients needing care in the NHS. I left cause the HSE pleaded for Irish nurses to come home and help with the Covid-19 crisis so I did that. Simon Harris announced on the news that nurses who are willing to come home to help will have the fee for the Irish pin wavered and the 90 day wait will also be wavered to a couple of working days. I have been home for nearly two weeks and I have had to email nearly everyone in government and ring the HSE numerous of times and still no respone. Finally today I got onto the NMBI (Nursing and Midwifery board of Ireland) and I was told that if I wanted to nurse in Ireland I would have to pay 495 euro to get my pin. Absolutely ridiculous, what is actually wrong with this country. I feel absolutely useless sitting on my ass where I could be helping people who need my help, and I actually feel guilty for coming home and wanting to help as my nursing skills would be extremely benefited in the UK if I just stayed there. It’s always about money in this country it’s a joke, where as the NHS are giving healthcare workers from all different areas pins to work left right and centre within 12 hours of contact. People are dying, people are losing their loved ones and Irish government still have their eyes on the money. Goes to show that money is always on the government mind.

Born Hunter 17,639 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Early days, too early to have much certainty... Quote Hospital admissions had already stabilised at about 1,000 per day, he said. “It’s quite important - it tells you that actually this is a bit more stable than it has been,” he said, adding that the country was tracking France rather than the worse-hit Italy and Spain. He said it would take another 2 to 3 weeks to determine the extent of the slowdown in the spread of the virus because of the lag between the rate of transmission and that of hospital admissions. Ferguson said a third or even 40% of people do not get any symptoms and thought perhaps 2% to 3% of Britain’s population had been infected. But Ferguson cautioned that the data was not good enough to make firm extrapolations. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-health-coronavirus-britain-epidemic/uk-epidemic-is-slowing-antibody-test-could-soon-be-ready-advisers-idUKKBN21H0S0 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
